Most popular consoles have a way to create a VR experience — and Sony has just unveiled its new plans for its PSVR 2 headset and controllers. These new virtual reality tools will go even further than the company's current VR model, though the release date is still far off.Article continues below advertisement What is the release date for the PSVR 2 At this time, Sony has not yet revealed just when the new VR headset and controllers will be available to players, though it's likely that we'll see the product launch sometime in 2022, given the announcement and how far along the company seems to be in its production. The headset and controllers are newly designed exclusively for the PS5, meaning the product is likely to hit shelves long before the rumored "PS5 Pro" will ever be unveiled.Source: Sony 'Horizon Call of the Mountain'Article continues below advertisement Sony also announced Horizon Call of the Mountain as one of the first games the company will debut for the new headset and controllers.

Sony unveiled the specs for the new VR headset and controllers exclusively for the PS5 If you are one of the lucky ones who has managed to snag a PS5, then you might want to consider turning back on all of the notification channels you used to snag it, because the new VR2 headset and controllers are likely to be just as popular — and just as elusive.

The new controllers bear a striking similarity to the design of the PS5, featuring a white, circular design "since it is meant to have constant human contact, similar to the rounded edges of the DualSense controller and Pulse 3D headset," Hideki wrote. It's beautiful. #PSVR2 pic.twitter.com/QpwSf1Mft4— Push Square (@pushsquare) February 22, 2022 Comfort was apparently a top priority, which is why the designers included a lens adjustment dial, a weight and size reduction, and even vents — to stop the headset's monitors from fogging up while playing. While the new PSVR2 offers quite a few upgrades for players, it still bears enough similarities to the original VR design so as not to be considered a complete overhaul. This will make it easier for those who love the current VR headset to transition smoothly.AdvertisementMore from Distractify There’s Still a PS5 Shortage, and People Want to Know When PlayStation 6 Will Be Out A PS5 Pro Is Already Rumored to Be in the Works PlayStation 5 Exclusives Are on Their Way — Here's What's in Store for 2022 Latest PlayStation News and UpdatesAdvertisementABOUT DistractifyAbout UsPrivacy PolicyTerms of UseDMCASitemapCONNECT with DistractifyLink to Facebook Link to TwitterLink to InstagramContact us by Email Copyright 2022 Distractify.
